About Crookedwood
Crookedwood is a small rural locality in north County Westmeath, centred on the regional road network between Mullingar, Castlepollard and Collinstown. The area has a quiet, community-oriented character, with dispersed homes, farmland and access to the lakes and woodland landscapes characteristic of this part of the county. Day-to-day life is peaceful and car-dependent, while Mullingar provides the broadest range of supermarkets, services, schools, healthcare and evening options within a practical driving distance. Crookedwood itself is associated with local community and sporting activity, including the village hall and GAA facilities, while nearby villages provide traditional pubs and convenience shopping rather than a large commercial centre. Commuters can reach Mullingar and the M4 corridor by road, although regular public transport is more limited than in the larger towns. Families have access to local primary-school provision in the surrounding villages, with secondary schools and further education concentrated mainly in Mullingar and Castlepollard. The nearby lakes, including Lough Owel and Lough Derravaragh, together with Westmeath’s countryside, offer opportunities for walking, fishing, boating and other outdoor recreation.
